Yeah, I guess the only advantage to using euphemisms is that random people won't be offended for whatever reason.

I think mother father is my favorite (I just heard this one last week).

I'm considering beginning "swearing", except I would just shout "A ES DEE EFF!" because that's what I spam when I want to show my e-anger! >=( (that's me angry)


Also how many Smogon members do (or don't, I guess, would be a shorter list) swear? I, for one, only do when I'm quoting someone else, or when telling certain jokes. For the most part, I agree with Baines from Malcom X: "A man only curses because he doesn't have the words to say what's on his mind."
